Some day I might even install that OffByOne -- you're so
good with your recommendations!


It's a no install - unzip into a directory and you're in
internet heaven (if there IS such a thing).

SNIP

But obviously the subject comes to an inglorious end. I
guess it is possible you were speaking of something else.
But you could have realized I was fixing a non-existent
problem sooner than now!


I'm old. Give me a break.

SNIP

Summerish. But not very hot or humid. I did NOT reek,
BION. I DO wash when I am on the verge of starting to
smell. Since I live a very sedentary life, it is not as
disgusting as it sounds.


That's fairly impressive, then, to go two weeks, if it was
summerish. But I still have a reputation to uphold & cannot
reveal my own summer number! I guess you know it's the
first whiff in the morning that's the most revealing. Don't
wait too long after that to make up your mind!


I know it's weird, but in spite if having relaxed cleanliness
routines, I rarely smell, and I don't even have bad breath!

SNIP


I suggested the author wasn't revealing how many complaints
he got. In terms of damage, you suffered nearly the
equivalent of my hard drive crash of '01, sounds like.
That's pretty bad.


It was just inexplicable. I /knew/ I didn't have any viruses. So
I started blaming the hardware... I bought a new keyboard, a new
MB and processor, installed and uninstalled and formatted more
times than I care to think of, all to no avail until it occurred
to me to change the date... It almost put me over the edge. I
HATE mysteries.

OK, that topic /is/ finished.

SNIP

Well, you were & still claim to be a perfect gentleman,


I NEVER claimed to be a gentleman let alone perfect. I am an
overweight stinky slob.
And I can be very rude - intentionally or not.

then, if that's true. I think even Pebble must agree. It
can be presumed none of them sprayed air freshener at you.
So, fine, what was it that they did do?


Oh, we /really/ don't want to talk about that.
Don't you have you own share of "the fair sex" horror stories?

All right. I don't see your posts curl overly much at the edges, anyhow.

The actual silver lining is you picked up good experience in a number of
computing issues that could always come up in earnest next time. Also,
you've learned to keep a full C:\ backup.

SNIP

I NEVER claimed to be a gentleman let alone perfect. I am an

And I can be very rude - intentionally or not.


I think it's gentlemanly to wash twice as much -- as I calculate you
do -- in the presence of -- especially -- women -- or at least to
promise as much -- as you did. And I believe you! Also, I'm confident
you'd refrain from eating those onions the night before!

then, if that's true. I think even Pebble must agree. It
can be presumed none of them sprayed air freshener at you.

Though you boot to Natasha & I have three partitions named after women,
I'm not sure this really constitutes a fit/proper topic for this NG --
especially as we've run out of computer problems in this thread -- IF we
ever did have one. So, your first instinct is correct: We don't really
want to talk about that. And I'm not admitting I have anything to talk
about! You're getting to be too nosey!

I used to wash when there was a point to it. I know now that

It's safer than ever for you to wash now, if your points have gone!

Moot question since no one else will "hear" it. Enough have and
I am as tired of telling it as of living the hell it wreaked.
